SECURITY is the ambitious new mixtape from London-based artist
GAIKA. Born out of his travels through the many global currents of
contemporary London, his music is dark yet melodic, experimental yet
catchy. While drawing strongly from his Brixton upbringing and his
Jamaican and Grenadian heritage, GAIKA's sound is ultimately expansive,
seamlessly weaving musical motifs, vocal flows and slangs of UK, US and
Caribbean music.

As a lyricist, GAIKA shares stories encompassing criminal braggadocio
and inflated self-worth, desire, and heartfelt tales of grief and lost love, all
re-imagined through a sonic minimalism that dissolves into abstract and
dreamlike proportions. At the heart of SECURITY is GAIKA's exploration
of our pervasive fear of death. He believes it is this fear which ultimately
provokes insecurity, driving our desire for romantic love and material
goods.

As both a vocalist and producer, GAIKA is as uncompromising in his
politics as his sonics, intent on expanding and exploding the ideas of what
contemporary black British music is. Channeling the unique synthesis of
London’s musical make-up, and featuring a number of exciting guest
vocalists with a sympathetic ethos, GAIKA’s mixtape places him firmly at
the forefront of a new London.

Release date: 20th April 2016
